Robert Gallo Explains HIV Theory

Do I have any comment on that? Yes, I have plenty of comment on that. You're no
scientist and you just listen to me. I run the most prestigious HIV laboratory
in the world. Just you get that straight. There is no such thing as virus glue.
Do you hear me? It's an experimental artifact. Viral Glue Theory is just Loop
Theory in drippy clothes. There's no glue there. If there were, it would be like
a machine all gummed up. Where's the thinking in glue? Did you ever ask yourself
that question? Go ask it of your scientists. Talk about being obscure. If Loops
were glue, then Loops couldn't loop. It's the Loops that form a kind of Scotch
tape, linking -- that's the important word -- linking and looping, you get it?
When I wrote my 'Outline of the Theory of the Loop and Infectious Disease,' I
spoke about a mathematical glue -- it's really too difficult to explain, there's
just no good mathematics around to describe it, but that's what it is,
mathematical glue, a mathematical glue that pastes, mathematically speaking, of
course, the cell and the virus and another cell together. That's where they got
the idea of a glue. The rest of the article was too difficult for them to
understand. Mathematics is what Loops are all about. You can't manufacture
mathematical glue. It's like calling the plus sign of addition, a glue. Addition
isn't pasting numbers together. Adding uses a mathematical glue. HIV’s got a
mathematical glue too -- in the Loops. But it's a lot more complicated than
'gluing' numbers together. It 'glues' patents. That's what comes of trying to
simplify mathematical and scientific ideas. It gets to be a gooey mess -- a lot
of glue. Virus glue is like putting shit between papers and hoping they'll stick
together. Sure they'll stick, but who wants the papers after that? [1]
